"Nature Being"

It's about merging nature with the Way, embodying the philosophy of non-action by Lao Tzu. Non-action allows all things to develop harmoniously, flowing naturally and effortlessly. In the space of more than 700 meters, the initial ecology of "preserving uncarved block" rather than "eliminating uncarved block " removes the tangible ideological framework, which is the spiritual realm of penetrating the original heart and adapting to nature.



"Let native trees become unique natural illuminators"

In the area of Nature Being, a space is built with bamboo framework, and its adjustment characteristics are adapted to local conditions. Then, the type and appearance of the local trees are placed in fiction and fact, and the fog in the mountain is simulated by lighting, and the clouds and fog also shuttle among the bamboos, showing the image of nature without deliberate carving, and the artistic concept is finally integrated inside and outside.




"See the forest but not the trees"

In the overall design of Nature Being, the artificial subjective design consciousness is removed as much as possible. The main material is Meng Zongzhu, Moso bamboo, which can be seen everywhere in the coastal fishery environment, and the elements of the oyster shed constructed by local oyster farmers at sea are taken as the main axis to respond to the environment and natural ecology. The architectural form design strives to blur the extremely large volume of more than 700 meters, and at the same time, the possibility of in-situ reuse of the materials is also considered. As a whole, thousands of bamboos are intertwined with more than 100 native tree species in the field, providing people with a kind of sight and imagination of "seeing the forest but not the trees", so that people can feel the beauty of the original ecology and nature from far and near.
